The Potential Pool for Music Publishers

All music publishers can apply for funding, regardless of nationality and membership. The pool is aimed at music publishers in all genres, and emphasis will be placed on the publisher, project or creators being in a start-up phase. For example, it can be a newly started publishing company or a publishing project's project for young creators who are at the start of their careers or other authors who are either at the start of their careers or, for example, are returning to the industry after a break and therefore lack start-up support.

All music publishers can apply for funding, regardless of nationality and membership. The music publisher must run ordinary music publishing business and have a publishing contract with a minimum of 1 songwriter (in addition to the owners).

The pool supports expenses for projects where the applicant unambiguously works with music publishing as part of their business, and where the purpose of the application is to support the work of the music publishers, regardless of whether the project has a commercial purpose.
